I had the big oil truck come down to the house yesterday and deliver a measly 150 gallons at $3.45 a gallon making it $517.35. If I filled it, it would have been over $900.00. This is also by one of the cheaper COD companies around.
This is getting bad and I had a discussion with the office (after a very small fuel spill in driveway). The manager is a boater also and he was telling me that as of 01 Jan the Government changed the sulfer requirements for marine diesel to be the same as road use. This is the supply and demand issue that is driving diesel both at road pumps and at marinas through the roof.
I already went up this year on prices and may have to go up again another $10.00 a head for those who have not booked yet due to the barrel price raising each day by $1-$2.
I feel bad for those who are unemployed or elderly who need to heat their homes, we are in a very dismal situation here.
